Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray director Jaume Collet-Serra’s action thriller The Commuter (2017), starring Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Sam Neill, Elizabeth McGovern, and Jonathan Banks.

The Commuter will likely be Neeson’s last high-octane thriller as last year the actor announced that he is retiring from action films. You can see the official announcement here.

Studio synopsis: Michael’s (Neeson) daily commute home quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger (Farmiga), Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding and is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy. One that carries life and death stakes, for himself and his fellow passengers.

From Jaume Collet-Serra, the director of Non-Stop and The Shallows, and written for the screen by Byron Willinger, Philip de Blasi, and Ryan Engle, The Commuter‘s home entertainment release includes two never-before-seen featurettes that focus on the cast’s experience shooting the film and the technical details of shooting on a train.

The 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray versions will also feature Dolby Atmos audio remixed specifically for the home-theater environment, to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead.

The Commuter and Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra had some kind things to say about Vera:

Vera Farmiga’s Upcoming Movie, The Commuter Marks Her Second Film With Director Jaume Collet-Serra After Orphan And Her First Opposite Liam Neeson.

Vera Farmiga’s upcoming movie, ‘The Commuter‘ marks her second film with director Jaume Collet-Serra after ‘Orphan‘ and her first opposite Liam Neeson. Farmiga recalls how she was approached to board the project: “Jaume sent me an email asking ‘Do you want to spend some time on a train with Liam Neeson?’ and I replied ‘I thought you’d never ask…but do I have to pay for the ticket?!'” she explains.

When asked about the director, she was all praise and couldn’t hope for a better experience. “We picked up where we left off,” she says. “I have a really affectionate working relationship with him. What makes him so unique as a director is that gets behind the camera and he’s visible all the time, he’s right there with you. So even if the film is huge with a huge production that comes with that, it feels as though we’re making a home movie with a camcorder. It makes the filmmaking such an intimate process.”

For his part, Collet-Serra knew that she would make an excellent match for Liam Neeson. “I love Vera,” he says. “We had an amazing experience on Orphan, and I’ve wanted to work with her ever since. And I wanted to work with Vera and Liam together so when this character came up she was my only call. I literally begged her to do it and she graciously accepted and did a wonderful job obviously. Seeing her and Liam together is the most fun that I’ve had in a long time.”

Some quotes from Liam when he was interviewed at the The Commuter Premiere in Dublin and he talks about working with Vera and it’s really sweet!

…

We had a little chat with Liam at the Irish premiere of The Commuter this evening in Dublin.

We asked Liam what is was like to work with Farmiga, who has become one of the most in-demand and finest character actresses in recent years. He told us he was in awe of his co-star. With breakout roles in The Departed and The Boy In the striped Pyjamas, she has gone on to win a host of awards.

“I’ve been in love with her since The Departed, and then I saw her in a film called Orphan – directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who directed this.”

“She’s a wonderful actress,” he said.

Having only gotten to work with Vera for a few days on set for The Commuter, Liam said: “I was a wee bit star struck, I was.”

So, pretty much how we felt talking to him so.

He also admitted to “binge watching Bates Motel” (could he get any cooler lads?) in which she plays Norma Louise Bates.

He said: “She’s fantastic in it, she’s really great and a lovely lady too.”

“Vera plays a very mysterious character and she’s such a wonderful actress that you’re never quite sure if she’s all that she makes out to be. Is she a cop? Is she FBI? Is she a baddie or what? She plays it very, very close to her chest. She’s always been on my bucket list of actresses to work with.”

“I didn’t know Liam before this film. Liam was just a myth, he was a legend! Boy, he is grace on two feet! He’s everything I anticipated – strong, steadfast, kind and open. He is so warm and he is a very curious, very tender but a big oak in stature,”Farmiga said in a statement.

“You just want to wrap your arms around him and climb him like a big tree and swing from him. He’s that guy. He’s wonderful,” she added.
